Thyroid Disease/Thyroid Nodule

The thyroid is a hormone-producing organ (or gland)
that is located on the front of the neck, just under
the Adam’s apple. The thyroid gland, which is
made up of a right lobe and a left lobe, produces and
secretes thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. Thyroid
hormones are important to functions that include regulating
the metabolic rate and body temperature.

A thyroid nodule is an abnormal growth of thyroid
cells within thyroid gland. The most important concern
related to thyroid nodules is thyroid cancer, but fortunately
thyroid cancer is very rare.
